For the past two years, the School District, under your leadership, has been embarked upon a mas- sive campaign to overcome the pent-up space needs of Philadelphia's schools.This ye.ar, I can report that this space race is beginning to be won. For the opening of school this coming fall, .ve anticipate that there will be 5 new schools in operation and completed additions to 8 other buildings. Together with al- terations and improvements to dozens of existing schools, renot ation of space at such facilities as the Innovative Center at 5th and Luzerne Streets and other efforts mentioned in the rep9rt, a substantial in- road on the School District's major problemovercrowdingwill have been made. In addition to these immediate results, some 16 new schools and 24 additions to existing schools are under design or construction at this time.These include 24 lower schools, S middle schools, 9 high schools and 2 special facilities.Thirteen of these new schools are scheduled to open in the fall of 1969 alone.
